Why is rectified voltage storge in a capacitor?
Because a capacitor is ideal for storing energy over short periods, as in a reservoir capacitor in a power supply.
What is Impedance of ideal voltage source?
An ideal voltage source has no internal resistance, and a constant voltage output. In reality, all voltage sources (battery, generator, etc.) have some internal resistance, and their voltage may degrade or change over time.Ans 2: An ideal voltage source will have zero input impedance and the voltage can rise to infinity to supply the current.Read more: What_does_an_ideal_voltage_controled_voltage_sources_do
Will voltage drop across a capacitor?
basically a capacitor will charge to the input DC level however it will mathematically never happen since capacitors charge at a certain rate the voltage drop across a capacitor will follow the R C time constant or 63% of the applied voltage for a unit time.AnswerIn the case of an a.c. supply, yes, there will be a voltage drop across a capacitor. In the case of an 'ideal' capacitor, this will be the product of the load current and the capacitive reactance of the capacitor.
Is a voltage and current source the same thing?
Voltage source inverters use the dc voltage (e.g a capacitor in parallel) as a source while the current source inverer (inductor in series) use the dc current as a source. Please note that voltage can not be changed abruptly in capacitor as current can not be changed abruptly in inductor.
Which diode have characteristics very close to that of an ideal voltage source?
zener diode
An ideal voltage source will charge an ideal capacitor?

Can capacitor store charge from ac source?
Yes. A capacitor stores charge from any source, including AC.The difference between DC and AC, however, is that the capacitor will be constantly changing in charge, in step with the AC. Due to the nature of the capacitor, the current through the capacitor will lead the voltage by some amount, depending on capacitance and resistance. {In the ideal case of a perfect capacitor, conductors, and AC power source, the current will lead the voltage by 90 degrees phase angle.}This is called capacitive reactance.Another way for a capacitor to store charge from an AC source, of course, is to place a rectifier diode in front of the capacitor. This, then, becomes an AC to DC converter.
What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.

What is Difference Between Current Source and Voltage Source?
A current source varies the output voltage to maintain the desired current. A voltage source has a constant output regardless of the current draw (up to the capacity of the supply, of course).
Why capacitor block direct current?
A capacitor opposes a change in voltage, but it will help to look at both the device and at a circuit up close to see what's going on. Any capacitor is two "plates" separated by a dielectric or insulator. Connect a wire to each plate and you've got the device. In a direct current circuit, the voltage source will cause current flow in only one direction. A common battery is a good example. Let's look further. When a capacitor is connected in a DC circuit and the circuit is energized, the voltage source will want to cause current to flow in only the one direction. In the initial moment when the power is switched on, electrons will flow in the circuit. Electrons will leave the negative terminal of the source and enter the positive terminal. The current flow will travel through the wire, and electrons will "pile up" on one of the plates of the capacitor. As electrons are "piling up" on one plate, their presence there will create an electric field across the dielectric to the other plate. This electric field will cause electrons on that other plate to leave. The capacitor is charging, and the voltage source will, for the first instant of time, think that things are "fine" and current will flow. But as the capacitor charges, current flow drops off, and it eventually stops when the voltage across the plates equals the source voltage. In review, as the DC power is switched on in a circuit with a capacitor in it, current will flow "normally" for the first instant. But as the first electrons arrive on one plate and force them off the other plate, current in the circuit will begin dropping off. The voltage developing across the plates of the capacitor opposes the battery voltage. Eventually the capacitor is charged and all current flow has stopped. There is some math that says something slightly different, but for all practical purposes, the capacitor is considered fully charged in a very short period of time. This will depend on circuit resistance and the ability of the source to deliver current, of course. But that capacitor will, when charged, not "pass" any more current. The voltage across the plates is equal to (an opposing) the source voltage, and no more electrons can get onto the negative plate to force more off the positive plate.

Does the ideal voltage source have an internal resistance of zero ohms?
yes
How is the capacitor able to account for AC Ripples?
Ripple Voltage is voltage variation across the load and it is the AC component. To answer this question, consider a Half Wave rectifier with a smoothing capacitor: This rectifier will consist of a sinusoidal voltage source, an ideal diode, a capacitor in parallel with the load. At t=0, the voltage across capacitor = load voltage When the circuit is switched on, the capacitor is fully charged as the sinusoidal source reaches its peak. However, the sinusoidal nature causes the source voltage to decline after reaching the peak. This means that no current will flow through the diode. But the capacitor is still charged. So this will supply current to the load while it discharges. But during the discharging period (till the sinusoidal picks up again), the load voltage is an exponential function = peak voltage *exp-[(t - t')*resistance of load*capacitance] Now a key point is that the pulsating current is flowing through the diode to recharge the capacitor. Because of this constant charge and discharge of the capacitor in the cycle, the load voltage has AC ripples. At the same time load current is never zero and is directly prop to load voltage. The dc component >> ac component and the ripple voltage is greatly reduced by the capacitance esp a large one. You can minimize these by choosing a large capacitance. This is how a capacitor accounts for AC ripples. You can never actually rid these ripples even if you use a full-wave rectifier! Google search half - wave rectifier graphs on the ripples to understand this!! --- Sona
